Offord Primary School

St Neots, PE19 5SB · Cambridgeshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
6.0/10 Broadly average

53rd of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.8/10 against 3,672 of them, against 6.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 40% 2.41
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 25% 1.77

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a LEGO building club, running, basketball, and multi-sport clubs, or take part in dance, drums, guitar, piano, singing, and ukulele. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 88 pupils in a building with 119 places, leaving 31 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 11.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual attention during lessons?
